About this item
Product details
From the bestselling author of Jaws comes a firsthand guide to one of the most feared--and often misunderstood--animals: sharks!
In direct and accessible prose, Peter Benchley sets the record straight about the many types of sharks (including the ones that pose a genuine threat to us), the behavior of sharks and other sea creatures we fear, the odds against an attack, and how to improve them even further. He also teaches us how to swim safely in the ocean by reading the tides and currents and respecting all the inhabitants. Here are the lessons Peter has learned, the mistakes he has made, the danger he has faced--and the spectacular sights he has seen in the world's largest environment. The book includes 16 pages of black-and-white photographs.Publishers Weekly,Fans of Peter Benchley, Philip Pullman and Roald Dahl will be pleased to learn about a trio of summer titles.
